Chapter 41: Perception
After receiving the summons from the Lizhou Prosecutor's Office, Zheng Jie immediately rushed from Gwangju by flying boat.
After getting off the platform, he didn't stop at all and rushed directly to the branch.
Under the leadership of He Meng, he examined all the captured people. Looking at the Xuan Xiu who was wrapped in clouds and mist like a cocoon, he said, "Are all the people of the Liuru Daoist sect here?"
He Meng still had a hint of excitement in his expression, and said: "Back to Sicha, the Xuan Xiu in the Liuru Dao Sect at the time of the incident, from the sect leader Jiang Chang, to the elder He Gu'an, to the one hundred and fifteen disciples below, none of them ran away, all of them are here!"
After a pause, he added, "There are really a lot of these people, and the golden prison prepared by the branch before is almost unfillable." ”
Zheng Jie looked at those people for a long time and was speechless. He didn't expect that such a Taoist sect, which was not much different from the Liangzhong faction, would be disintegrated overnight, and he heard that it was only done by Zhang Yu alone.
And the time to exterminate this Taoist sect was just the part of the road that He Meng noticed the movement and rushed up the mountain.
He said, "Did they say anything?"
He Meng said: "I didn't say anything, since they were wrapped in that cloud, their state of mind seems to be suppressed by something, and any changes in the outside world can't trigger changes in their emotions......
At this, he hesitated.
Zheng Jie was very keen and said, "What do you want to say?"
He Meng clenched his fists and said, "Si Cha, there is something wrong with Jiang Chang and He Gu'an, based on our past experience, we suspect that these two people are likely to have been contaminated with the Nightmare Demon." ”
"Doubt?" Zheng Jie's face sank, and he said, "Why don't you go to the test?"
He Meng was a little embarrassed, and said: "Zhang Xuanzheng explained when he left, just take care of these people first, and at the right time, there will be the right people to come to check, he said that we don't need to take care of this part, and there is a clear confirmation on the exchange documents, and ...... And if we don't put away those clouds and mist, we can also collect blood and check the mind of these Xuan Xiu. ”
Zheng Jie was a little dissatisfied with this, after all, in his opinion, anyone suspected of demon encroachment needed to be confirmed and dealt with immediately, but he also knew in his heart that now Xuan Xiu was under the supervision and control of Zhang Yu, and the Prosecutor Department no longer had the right in this regard.
And as a person with a fairly clear mind, although he didn't want to admit it, he also knew that this way of dealing with it was actually more acceptable to the monks.
In the final analysis, the monk's business is only left to the monk himself.
He had a faint feeling in his heart that what the Prosecutor had not been able to accomplish in the past forty years might really be solved this time.
The Liuru Daoist faction was all captured by the Prosecutor's Division, and this matter was not able to be concealed for a long time, and it was soon known to all factions, and this matter also caused a greater shock than the previous edict of the Xuan Court.
Although the Liuru Dao Sect is not one of the most powerful Dao sects, it is not a nameless Dao sect, at least it can be regarded as having some strength, otherwise the original planner would not have entrusted them with the matter of dealing with Zhang Yu.
But such a Taoist sect was actually taken down without any waves? It seems that no one has escaped.
When did the prosecutor have such great courage and ability?
With the in-depth investigation, the factions also found that the cause of this incident was actually that one of the Xuanxiu of the Liuru Taoist Sect went to Zhang Yu to report it, saying that the entire Taoist Sect was preparing to withdraw from the territory, so it was that Xuanzheng who personally took action and took down all the Liuru Taoist Sect from top to bottom with a thunderous momentum.
After learning the truth, many Daoists who were originally planning the same as the Liuru Daoist Sect immediately gave up their original plans.
This was not only because these Daoists saw Zhang Yu's force, but also because all this made them understand his determination and attitude towards this matter, and they didn't think that they could escape the encirclement and suppression of the other party by running outside the territory.
For this reason, they are also very grateful to the Liuru Dao faction for making a touchstone.
Of course, except for a few people, most of the Daoists didn't know that the Liuru Dao Sect dared to jump out first, because the upper level was contaminated with the Demon and had no way out, so they had to do it, and they had to find another good support behind it, not that they were really dizzy.
If it weren't for Zhang Yu's quick decision and Yuezhou's quick attack, the outcome of this matter would be uncertain.
And one consequence of this incident is that almost all the Dao sects have now strengthened the vigilance of their stations, and are trying to get more magic weapons from the Spiritual Mystery Realm for protection.
Regarding this matter, Zhang Yu also quickly learned about it from the newspaper sent by the Prosecutor's Division.
According to the newspaper, each faction seems to be strengthening the defense of its garrisons, most notably in the area previously obscured by the fog, apparently in case of a surprise attack.
He didn't care about it, though, because he wouldn't do it again next time.
It's better to do such things in a dignified manner.
If it weren't for the timing and the fact that he could see the seal in the letter as soon as possible, he wouldn't have made that choice.
And he believes that after this incident, there should be some Taoist sects who make the right choice.
However, through these reports, he also saw something else.
He had flipped through the records of the Xuanfu before, and a comparison between the two could find that in the past sixty years, although Xuanxiu had flourished for a while and had made great progress, on the whole, because of the casualties when the turbidity tide came, judging from the number of Xuanxiu in Qingyang Shangzhou alone, it had not been able to recover to the atmosphere of sixty years ago.
The biggest reason here is that outstanding young people or students are quickly absorbed by the military government and the Zhou government, as the Mingshan Taoist said, since you can gain strength by putting on the divine robe and Xuan armor, then why work hard to cultivate the Tao?
Moreover, if the Zhou Mansion and the Military Government lower the requirements of the armor soldiers, the time for a person to go from forming combat strength to being pushed to the battlefield only depends on the speed at which the Heavenly Machinery Department builds the Divine Robe Xuanjia.
However, cultivating the Tao is not something that can be achieved by a random individual, and aside from those with outstanding qualifications, most people also need a certain amount of knowledge and insight before they can enter the Tao.
So he had to consider a question now, assuming that all the Dao sects were destroyed, then how to maintain the Xuanxiu lineage of Qingyang Shangzhou?
After all, Xuan Xiu also has its existential significance, especially in the face of small-scale battles and in the face of elite raids by foreign enemies, it is still the monks who have more means and can play more roles.
He had a vague idea about this, but he needed to try to consider the matter after the Daoist sect was resolved.
He put away the newspaper and went to the quiet room, and after sitting down here, he took out the Xuanzheng seal letter that belonged to him, and then his consciousness leaned in.
This time, he successfully felt the seal given by the Xuan Court.
From the consciousness transmitted from the seal, he learned that this seal was called the "Seal of Knowledge", and the function of this seal was to help a monk understand something in depth.
Although Xuan Xiu can contemplate and read the seal in the way of paying the Divine Yuan, and quickly master various Dao methods, this does not mean that he cannot learn the Divine Channel Technique in other ways.
In order to save their own Divine Element, some Xuan cultivators are willing to spend more time and effort to learn something that seems relatively simple, and the Divine Yuan will only be used on those more difficult seals.
He thought about it for a while, Xuan Ting gave him this seal, perhaps because he wanted him to master more means.
But......
There was a slight gleam in his eyes.
For others, this seal may only serve this purpose.
But he is different from others, in addition to the Xuanzhang, he can also read the Hun Zhang.
In the past, when he learned a certain skill, he often needed to understand and learn it deeply before he could reflect it on the Hun Chapter, but after having this seal, he might be able to learn it in a relatively short period of time and reflect it in the Hun Chapter, and then he could use the Shen Yuan to further deepen what he had learned.
This seal may have helped him even more than he imagined.
It's just that the premise of all this is still Shenyuan.
He couldn't help but fall into thought, it seemed that he had time to go, and he was going to try to go to Yantai Academy.
At the same time, a flying boat was coming in the direction of Kaiyang Academy.
Chen Mingchu, the sect leader of the Xinhui Daoist Sect, sat in the main cabin and closed his eyes to recuperate, he was wearing the Xuanfu robe of Qingyang Xuanfu, and the aura on his body was strong and natural, and he knew at a glance that he was a cultivator with an extremely deep cultivation foundation.
An elder of the sect couldn't help but say, "Sect leader, do we really want to take refuge in that Xuanzheng?"
Chen Mingchu's eyes opened, and there was a divine light in his eyes, which disappeared suddenly, and he said: "We are originally Xuanfu Xuanxiu, so how can we talk about taking refuge?"
The elder was still a little uneasy, "But now that all the factions are waiting, I'll wait for the first one to come up, in case this Xuanzheng doesn't have a chance, wouldn't our Heart Hui Dao Sect cut itself off from the sects?"
Chen Mingchu's face was calm and calm, and said: "On the contrary, I think that we are now in the past, which is the most correct choice, I heard the news before, Zhang Xuanzheng specially visited Xuanshou before, and then the Liuru Taoist Sect, Xuanshou did not have any words, I think you should be able to understand." ”
The elder was stunned for a moment, then reacted and said, "In this way, isn't it that Xuanshou has already negotiated something with Zhang Xuanzheng, and he will not meddle in the affairs of the sects in the future?"
Chen Mingchu's eyes were deep, and he said: "I'm afraid it's more than that, I guess these two may have reached a consensus." ”
The elder's face showed a look of astonishment, if this was the case, then the factions were obviously dying if they insisted now. But he was still a little worried, and said, "But if this Xuanzheng comes down and lets us go to the sects to fight, I'm afraid that the disciples of our Xinhui Dao sect will be hurt a lot." ”
Chen Mingchu shook his head and said: "If the situation is as I think, how can there be any more Taoism in the future? You don't think too much, as long as what we do is not against morality and is in line with the general trend, then we will always gain more than we lose." ”
